What is a major project you completed in 2020?
I would consider completing 2020 in itself a major project given how the world has changed and continues to do so. Such challenging times have also proved to us how resilient we can be, as long as we put our minds to it. This has also presented an opportune time for us to bring forward and accelerate some of our long-term plans to provide more value to our partners.
What is the most important architectural lesson COVID-19 has taught you?
COVID-19 reminded us that architecture can neither pre-empt nor lead our lives. It is but a medium that enables a certain set of outcomes within its context. Inevitably, the pandemic has altered how space is used. Building owners have a renewed focus on wellness and with a change in their brief as well as the new world we live in today, there will be new strategies, products and features to tackle design post-COVID-19. At a deeper level, the pursuit of providing design solutions that are relevant to the context as well as able to enrich and transform people’s lives does not change.
